Laminated Smart Glass for Phoenix and Scottsdale New Builds

Factory-laminated switchable smart glass panels for Phoenix new construction, remodels and glazing replacement, with the PDLC layer sealed inside. Serving Paradise Valley, Scottsdale, Arcadia and the Biltmore corridor.

Phase Glass provides switchable privacy glass, retrofit PDLC smart film and laminated smart glass for residential and commercial projects.

Factory-laminated switchable panels with the PDLC layer sealed inside. Specified for new construction, remodels and glazing replacement. Already have the glass? See retrofit switchable film. Built for Arizona desert-contemporary glazing: big west and south elevations, mountain views, and sun that never lets up.

Valley architecture puts long uninterrupted glazing toward Camelback, the Superstitions and the McDowells. Those elevations also take direct sun for most of the year, and the standard answer has been motorized shades that fail, fade and hum along an entire glass wall.

Switchable glass removes the hardware from the opening. Privacy becomes electrical rather than mechanical, so a 30-foot elevation switches in one action with nothing hanging in front of the view. Note the distinction: PDLC glass is a privacy product, not a solar-control product. Where heat load is the real problem we plan it alongside the low-e or shading strategy rather than instead of it.

In laminated smart glass, the PDLC switchable layer is laminated between glass at the factory. The panel arrives as finished switchable glazing, the privacy layer is protected inside the glass rather than applied to its surface, and is installed like architectural glass.

That makes it the format to specify when glazing is being designed or replaced: new construction, remodels, new partitions, doors, and enclosures. If your existing glass is staying in place, retrofit switchable film is usually the better route.

Questions and answers

Does Phase Glass serve Phoenix and Scottsdale?

Yes. The Valley is a Phase Glass market, including Paradise Valley, Scottsdale, Arcadia, the Biltmore corridor, North Central Phoenix, Chandler, Gilbert and Cave Creek. Scope is confirmed per project at consultation.

Does switchable glass reduce heat gain in Arizona sun?

It should not be specified for that. PDLC switchable glass is a privacy product. The private state scatters light rather than blocking solar heat. On Valley projects we coordinate with the glazing and low-e strategy so privacy and heat load are each solved by the right product.

What is laminated smart glass?

Laminated smart glass is a factory-made glass panel with the switchable PDLC layer laminated inside it. The panel arrives as finished switchable glazing and is installed like architectural glass.

When should laminated smart glass be specified instead of film?

For new construction, remodels, new partitions and enclosures, or any opening where the glazing is being replaced. If the existing glass is staying, retrofit switchable film is usually the better route.

Can panels be made to custom sizes?

Panels are fabricated to each project's dimensions and glass configuration. We review openings, controls, and electrical requirements as part of planning.

Can architects and builders request specifications?

Yes. Optical and electrical data, performance specs, CAD details, BIM/Revit content and installation details are available on request, and we can review drawings with your team. Email micah@phaseglass.com for current documentation.

How do I get pricing for laminated smart glass?

Share the application, approximate dimensions and any plans or elevations. We review the requirements and return project-specific pricing with the glass configuration we recommend.
